Fresh off the success of Atomfall and the legacy of the Sniper Elite series, we are looking for a technically accomplished artist to elevate the visual fidelity, atmosphere, and environmental storytelling of a highly anticipated, unannounced project. This is a rare opportunity to get in on the ground floor of an exciting new world, helping build the physical presence of the game from early block‑outs to final polished AAA assets.

As a mid‑level artist at Rebellion, you will have direct ownership of your work, managing everything from individual hero props to the visual identity of entire levels. Your day‑to‑day journey will include:

• 3D Modeling: Comprehensive mastery of 3D creation software. While knowledge of various industry‑standard tools is great, Blender is Rebellion’s preferred pipeline tool.
• Texturing & Baking: Expert knowledge of Substance Painter, P  (Physically Based Rendering) material workflows, and clean high‑to‑low poly baking routines.
